Não sou uma pessoa consumista. Não compro o que não preciso, e mesmo o que preciso é sempre o suficiente, sem sobras supérfluas. Por isso, não sou também de acumular, nem de lamentar perdas, principalmente, de coisas. Porém, confesso que algumas coisas, ainda que sem valor, às vezes as mantenho pelo valor afetivo: desenho de filhos, quando pequenos, lembrancinhas feitas por eles na escolinha, dos netos, enfim, miudezas que me comprazem.
Ontem, recebi de uma pessoa que mora sozinha e, por isso, mudou-se para um apartamento menor do que aquele em que estava, algumas louças, cuidadosamente embaladas em várias folhas de jornal, dispostas em duas sacolas. Ocorre que, durante o transporte das duas sacolas para o meu apartamento, ao efetuar a curva no corredor, em direção ao elevador, uma das sacolas bateu na parede do prédio, emitindo, imediatamente, o som de louça quebrada.
Ao abrir, com cautela, cada peça enrolada no jornal, cujo conteúdo eu desconhecia, fui conferindo que nada estava danificado: copos e taças, nem com a mínima lasca. Porém, uma peça maior, muito bem embalada, estava separada da sua parte, também bem acondicionada. A peça redonda, grande, afunilava-se um pouco na borda: é uma compoteira. A última peça que abri, pelo barulho, percebi que, ali ocorrera a quebra. Era a tampa da compoteira. Na hora, pensei: tantos copos, quase dez; também as taças em maior número, e, justamente, apenas uma peça, mais bem embalada do que a própria compoteira que é maior, foi a que quebrou. Resolvi colocar a compoteira na mesinha da sala já imaginando que providenciaria um belo arranjo para compô-la.
Uma hora depois, ao abrir o armário da cozinha para retirar um copo, chama-me atenção uma tampa de vidro, também transparente e do mesmo material que a compoteira recém-adquirida. Ao ver o círculo da grande compoteira repousada na mesa e o tamanho pequeno da tampa, agora em minhas mãos, achei que dificilmente ela me seria útil para tampá-la.
Ainda na cozinha, lembrei-me da longínqua origem daquela tampa.
Há 38 anos, ganhei, de casamento, uma bomboniere redonda que se compunha de três andares de louças sobrepostas, fechadas por aquela tampa, que ficava sobre o meu buffet com guloseimas para crianças, que eu ainda não tinha.
Certo dia, uma pequena, na faixa de 3 anos, com o seu curto bracinho, tentando alcançar um bis, derrubou a compoteira que se estilhaçou, sobrando, apenas, em cima do buffet, a tampa intacta.
Ao recolher os cacos, minha mão alcançou a tampa que, visivelmente sem nenhuma lasca, tive pena de colocá-la entre os estilhaços. Pensei: por que ela haverá de ir para o lixo? Não tem nada que a condene…Confesso que achei que seria injusto e um desperdício colocá-la no lixo.
Durante todo esse tempo, cada coisa que se quebrava, nada chegava nem perto para que a tampa guardada servisse de reposição. Muitas vezes, pensei em passá-la para frente juntamente às doações que sempre fiz de vasilhames e louças, mas pensava: o que farão com uma simples tampa de vidro? Fosse o pote, ainda teria utilidade, mesmo sem tampa, mas a tampa sozinha não serve para nada.
Recentemente, há dois anos, após a minha separação, quase passei, novamente, a tampa para frente junto a muitas coisas que doei. Entretanto, guardei-a novamente.
Observo atentamente a compoteira que parece me convidar a aproximar-me. Vejo-a de baixo para cima: larga, subindo em uma altura aproximada de 10 cm…, porém, próximo à borda, percebo que se afunila um pouco.
Com a tampa na mão esquerda, quase que em câmara lenta, vou descendo-a sobre a compoteira e, para o meu espanto, a tampa se encaixou.
Ninguém diria que não pertencia à compoteira: o mesmo material, a mesma cor, era realmente de impressionar.
Concluí: às vezes, alguns relacionamentos se quebram durante a nossa vida e sentimos que o vazio não há de ser preenchido um dia.
Mas eis que a “tampa”, guardada, às vezes, por muitos anos, aparece para nos preencher….

You actually suggested it perfectly.
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and
tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just
so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has
83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share
it with someone!
Highly descriptive blog, I loved that bit. Will there
be a part 2?
We are a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community. Your web site offered us with valuable information to work on. You’ve done an impressive process and our entire neighborhood will likely be thankful to you.
Hey very nice blog!
You ought to take part in a contest for one of the highest quality websites on the web.
I am going to recommend this website!
Manta Bridge
Your place is valueble for me. Thanks!…
Very good information. Lucky me I found your blog by chance
(stumbleupon). I have book-marked it for later!
Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?
This article will help the internet viewers for building up new website or even a weblog from start to end.
Hey! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does managing a well-established website such as yours require a
massive amount work? I am brand new to running a blog but
I do write in my journal daily. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
Appreciate it!
Right here is the perfect web site for anybody who
would like to understand this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).
You definitely put a new spin on a topic which has been discussed for years.
Great stuff, just excellent!
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues
of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or
outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet
without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help
prevent content from being stolen? I’d really appreciate it.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like
you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog.
An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
Great info. Lucky me I came across your blog by chance (stumbleupon).
I have saved it for later!
Hi there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so I came to check it out.
I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers!
Exceptional blog and amazing design.
Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your post. I like to write a little comment to support you.|
I do not even understand how I ended up right here, but I assumed
this publish was once good. I do not realize who
you’re but certainly you are going to a well-known blogger in the event you are
not already. Cheers!
Wonderful article! We will be linking to this great post on our website.
Keep up the great writing.
Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Finding the time and
actual effort to create a top notch article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and don’t manage to get anything
done.
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I?ll try to get the hang of it!
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Thanks
I don’t know whether it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing issues with your site.
It appears as if some of the written text on your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to
them too? This might be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Thanks
It’s an amazing paragraph in support of all the internet users; they will
obtain benefit from it I am sure.
Its bizarre and kinky tale concerned kidnapping, graphic rape, sex and nudity,
burn victims, bloody murder, pill-popping, and a compelled sex-change operation. In the event you and your associate
were spending the evening at a pal’s house, would you
continue to be prepared to have sex? Speaking of movies, would you ever make one with your companion? If that happens
in a really religious nation, be certain that
to deliver some God(s) to the entire state of affairs by pointing to your wedding ring in addition to saying God’s name and pointing to the sky – as if saying HIS God wouldn’t be very impressed along with his conduct.
Unicode assign every character a name. Well, hopefully, I received their title at the very least.
I tried it before and bought to realize it fairly properly.
We’ve obtained teens, Asians, ebony broads, MILFs and extra!
I’m extra of an “in individual” kind of particular person. Have
you ever had a single 24-hour time frame by which you had sex with a couple
of individual at different occasions of the day? Where this occurs with two female or two male fertilized eggs,
the character of an individual as a chimera could also
be invisible, by means of apparently regular sex and reproduction, and go undetected with out
genetic testing.
It’s going to be finish of mine day, but before end I am reading this fantastic
piece of writing to increase my knowledge.
Whats up are using WordPress for your site platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my own. Do you need
any coding knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, but I never discovered any attention-grabbing article
like yours. It is lovely value enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made just right
content material as you did, the net will likely be
much more helpful than ever before.
My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to
.net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization?
I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords
